Philly.com: Dead Doing His Job

A clerk in a small East Frankford grocery store who was known to give free milk to moms or let customers slide when they came up short was gunned down during a robbery yesterday morning when he refused to give up cash from the register, police said.

"Every time someone didn't have money for food or milk, he would just give it to you. And he never asked for anything back," said Lisa Diaz, 23, who lives behind Aurelia's Food Market at Torresdale Avenue and Orthodox Street and had been in the store a half-hour before the robbery.
